Title: M4GT4!
I wrote about M4GT4 a few times on my blog.
It is the first show off at official places.
This is the new category of FIA GT4 vehicles that will run all over the world from next year.
This is a new category to replace GT3 mainly in Europe because the recent GT3 is expensive and too high speed.
There are many normal parts in GT4 than GT3.
It is characterized by the long life cycle of each parts.
There are many 20 million yen or so in other manufacturers.
However, this M4 GT4's price is probably under 20 million yen.
It seems that participating vehicles will increase.
In Japan there is a class that can participate by GT4 in Super Taikyu series.
Although the engine is almost normal, braking and turning are unbelievably excellence as the body is lighter and high rigid.
This is the first machine I would like to run in Japan.
